My name is Adam Boustead. I have been with City Voices for around 9 years; surprised they haven’t killed me yet! I write flash fiction, short stories, poetry and hope to write a novel some day. I occasionally enter competitions and submit to on-line magazines. At the moment I am editing my first Novella in Flash. My greatest achievement as a writer so far is helping my brother Christopher with his writing. One of the best things about City Voices is that we get to try different types of writing exercises. I love helping others with their writing, but the best thing of all is the friendship in the group. In the future I hope to write a lot more on topics I haven’t explored before. I cannot recommend any single writer or book that have influenced me - the list would endless. The best advice I can give a writer starting out is join a writing group like City Voices.

Books

Escape to the worlds in your head.
Sail between the dreams isles.
Sail upon the seas.
Sail under the seas.
Sail amongst the stars.
 
Find the rune.
Heal the rune.
Know your true name.
Hold the hand of shadow.
Listen to the shadows; whispers.
Bear the badge of the shadow’s scars.
 
Dream of being a dragon.
Feel the spell in their blood.
Feel the wind whisper in your wings.
Let the magic in let it move you.
 
Panther pad through the past.
Dream of the future.
Live hundreds of lives.
Know the love you have never known.
 
Walk through walls.
Hear colours, see sounds.
Birth your bones, shed your skin.
Shed the flesh cage.
See the truth beneath the cage
